"Since Hamas' savage attack against Israel on October 7th, 2023, the IDF has been operating in Gaza to eliminate Hamas' military and governance capabilities and attempt to free the Israeli hostages.
During this operation, a wealth of new intelligence has been gathered on Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) terror organizations.
Israeli forces have retrieved millions of documents of captured enemy material.

Others fill various paid roles in UNRWA, including senior positions. For example, at least eighteen school principals in Gaza are members of Hamas' military wing.
Over thirty UNRWA facilities in Gaza have been found to contain terror infrastructures such as tunnel shafts, reflecting a systematic abuse of the status of these facilities for terror purposes.
